Generic protein structure example

G-protein coupled receptor 161 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR161 gene.[1][2] It is located on primary cilia and regulates embryonic development through suppression of the hedgehog signaling pathway. It appears to act as a mechanoreceptor and may not require an endogenous ligand for activation.[3][4][5][6]
